OIL-BURNER;

Patented Feb.16.1915.

Application filed October 5, 1914. Serial No. 865,16

citizen of the United States, residing at C- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in oil burners, one objectof the invention, being the provision of simplified construction of oil burner in whichthe gasifying tube is disposed longitudinally. above the burner tube while mounted for oscillation upon the burner tube for movement into the gasifying should be of a size to accommodate sufiicient liquid fuel to produce the desired heating of the gasifying tube without smutting the same, and yet at the same time without necessitating the refilling of the starting pan before the fuel is properly gasified. It has also been found that instead of using a stationary starting pan that it is desirable to have a pan that is movable into and out of a position between the burner tube and the gasifying tube in order that the same may be readily placed out of use when the fuel is gasified and the burner is operating .properly. In order therefore to carry out this intention, there is disposedfor oscillation upon the burner tube, a starting pan which can be moved into and out of a position between the burner tube and the gasifying tube.

'VVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed'can be made within the scope of what is claimed without 'departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a side elevation of the complete burner, portions of the same being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the complete burner. Fig. 3 is an end view of the burner taken from the right as viewed in Fig. 1. Figs. & and 5 are enlarged detailviews of the gasifying pipe or tube.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the base, which may be supported in any desired manner within the fire box or a range or other stove, the same being provided at each end with the open supporting portions 2 which receive the burner tube 3 which is adapted to extend longitudinally of and above the base 1, being provided with the jet openings 4 within the open portion of the projecting or supporting portions 2 of the base. 7 I

The gasifying tube 5 is in reality a continuation of the burner tube 3 and is adapt-ed to be superposed relative thereto as in the before mentioned patent, the same having disposed thereupon, the two deflectors 6, one

to each burner jet 4:- Garried by the base for. oscillation and so as to normally be held against movement by such friction',,are the two arms 8, each of which is connected by a rivet or other connecting means 9 to the projection 10 carried upon the under side of the starting pan 11. This starting pan 11 is of such'a size-as to extend slidably beyond the central portion, of the respective deflectors 6 and under the intermediate portion of the gasifying tube 5. As the arms 8 are mounted for oscillation upon the burner tube 3, the starting pan may be moved into and out of the positions as shown in full and dotted lines Fig. 8 and due to the frictional engagement of the arm 8 to the burner tube, the pan must be moved to assume such position, a poker or other means being generally employed.

In order to provide a means whereby a greater heating surface may be had within I the gasifying tube 5 to thus assist in ,the vatherein longitudinally thereof, a plurality of wires 12, which in no Way hinder the flow of the fuel and yet at the same time permit of the passage of the fuel there-about as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5.

It will be noted that the starting pan can be swung only in one direction to be moved from below the tube 5, the bracket 7 preventing movement in the other direction.

In putting the present burner in practice, it is desirable that asbestos or other such fuel holding means be disposed in the pan 11 so as to assist in the proper combustion and initial burning of. the fuel therein, the base also being covered with such material, so that the overflow of oil may be properly burned therefrom without endangering the operator.

When'the gasifying tube 5 has been sufficiently heated by the burning fuel Within the pan 11, the pan may be moved to the dotted line position as shown in. Fig. 3 by the use of a poker or other implement.

That I claim is:

1. An oil burner, including superposed longitudinal gasifying and burner tubes, a

pair of arms mounted upon the burner tube for swinging movement, and a starting pan carried by said arms and opening outwardly, said pan "being capable of movement into and. out of a tube.

2. An oil burner, including superposed gasifying and burner tubes, a pair of arms frictionally attached to the burner tube for swinging movement, a starting pan, a pair of lugs carried by-and projecting from the bottom of the starting pan and attached to the arms, whereby the starting pan may move with both arms and into and out of a position below the gasifying tube.

3. An oil burner, including a base, a burner tube mounted therein and longitudinally thereof, a bracket carried by the base position below the gasifying at one side of and intermediate of the
